AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>While much of the American establishment and media complex works to sanitize and explain away the danger the fascist Trump regime represents, I think it's important to note that people outside of the US who don't have a vested interest in collaborating with an oligarch-controlled American fascist order, are in fact taking notice of the alarming speed with which the US is becoming an overt, open fascist dictatorship - and they *are* talking about it, even if it's not reaching very many American eyes and ears:</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/09/watchlist-decline-civic-freedoms-civicus" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m</span><span class="invisible">ar/09/watchlist-decline-civic-freedoms-civicus</span></a></p><p>US added to international watchlist for rapid decline in civic freedoms</p><p>"The decision to add the US to the first 2025 watchlist was made in response to what the group described as the “Trump administration’s assault on democratic norms and global cooperation”.</p><p>In the news release announcing the US’s addition, the organization cited recent actions taken by the Trump administration that they argue will likely “severely impact constitutional freedoms of peaceful assembly, expression, and association”.</p><p>The group cited several of the administration’s actions such as the mass termination of federal employees, the appointment of Trump loyalists in key government positions, the withdrawal from international efforts such as the World Health Organization and the UN Human Rights Council, the freezing of federal and foreign aid and the attempted dismantling of USAid.</p><p>The organization warned that these decisions “will likely impact civic freedoms and reverse hard-won human rights gains around the world”.</p><p>The group also pointed to the administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian protesters, and the Trump administration’s unprecedented decision to control media access to presidential briefings, among others."</p><p>Looks folks, I'm not intimately familiar with Civicus, but I mean is it *ever* a good thing when international democracy watchdog projects are comparing to you *checks notes* The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Pakistan, and Serbia? I'd wager that it's not, and I'd like to remind Very Serious PeopleTM that these kinds of reports are frequently cited as justification for global sanctions and even US military intervention; including reports that are often released by far more partisan and less trustworthy observer groups than Civicus appears to be. Whether the US media reports on it or not, whether we as Americans talk about it or not, the United States is increasingly being acknowledged as a fascist pariah state by the rest of the world, and that will have consequences going forward for both the regime, and Americans as a whole. </p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Democracy</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Civicus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Civicus</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CivilRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PariahState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PariahState</span></a></p>
